Legacy

The story of Baume & Mercier begins in 1830. In that year, the brothers Louis-Victor and Célestin Baume opened their watch-store in Les Bos, a village in the Swiss Jura.

The shop of the brothers grew rapidly, while they stayed true to their motto “accept only perfection, only manufacture watches of the highest quality”. Under this motto they forged a fine reputation by creating exceptional timepieces, featuring the latest innovations.

Swiss-made excellence

For 190 years, Baume & Mercier is developing their expertise. This expertise is based on the Baume brother’s basicprinciple. Every step in the proces of development is checked in house, just like the assembly of the different components. This choice reflects The Maison’s strong principles, which guarantees the highest quality.

Design and development take place in Genève, the assembly of the watches Les Brenets in the Swiss Jura. Every watch is the result of the watchmakers passion and the desire to innovate. Thousands of sketches, hundreds of hours of modelling and years of development reflect this.

The assembled calibers and cases are submitted to the most stringent individual tests to ensure every timepiece functions according to Baume & Mercier’s specifications. The mechanical watches are tested on a machine for the movement’s accuracy and power reserve. Their function controls are also tested: setting the time, jumping date, chronograph and any other complication.                                                                                                                                     

The watches then undergo thermal shock testing, which highlights any hidden flaws. Every watch made at the manufacture in Les Brenets also undergoes a number of visual and aesthetic checks. Lastly, to ensure consistent and flawless quality, each finished piece undergoes a final meticulous check before being sent to one of our approved retailers.
